Amy Kurzweil
This session was recorded but consent to publication from the presenter has not yet been received.
About the talk
Amy has many important themes which will give us insight into the use of AI and the search for immortality, among other ideas… Amy and I have extracted a series of pages from Artificial which we will show during the interview — pages that illustrate her ideas about AI and her ability to convey them through the graphic-novel form. Ray also recommended her NPR interview on the memoir: New Yorker cartoonist Amy Kurzweil's graphic memoir “Artificial: A Love Story”.
About the speaker
New Yorker cartoonist and author of Flying Couch and Artificial: A Love Story, a hand-drawn memoir about her father Ray Kurzweil building a chatbot in the voice of his own late father. “Love, a process of focused attention, is what grounds a meaningful life.”
